Bank Passbook OCR API
Pull the account number, IFSC, branch and account holder name out of a bank passbook image as structured data, ready to verify without manual entry.
What the Bank Passbook OCR API does
Bank Passbook OCR extracts the key banking fields from a passbook's front page: account number, IFSC, bank and branch, and the account holder name.
Many customers reach for a passbook rather than a cheque book, particularly with public sector banks and in rural onboarding. Supporting both means you are not turning people away over which document they happen to hold.
